Do well-intentioned people move your speakers?


My mom is in town and she's been on a mission straightening up my house. She saw where I had my speakers, and moved them, saying "they look much better over hear". She did not known that those locations were determined after a considerable amount of time to improve the sound.

Has anyone else had the experience where someone else doesn't understand the importance of proper positioning of speakers?

That's pretty easy,
my housekeeper is prohibited from entering my basement dedicated audio room, much less going anywhere near my system.
I do all the time. Been breaking a new set for about ten months. I actually have them, deep spiked towers, on plant dollies that have a 16 inch round concrete stepping stone on top. Makes it easy to move the 'monsters'. Keep on tweaking!
I had my bulding super recently come over to inspect the air conditioning and while I turned away, he moved the right speaker. Why he did it is still unknown to me as there was more than enough space to come through.
I wanted to kill him though.

Aside from this, all my friends and relatives know I'm crazy when it comes to my system, so nobody really made any attempts to move any of the components.

However, some people who see my speakers for the first time always want to "pick up the microphone".
B&W didn't account for these people during the design phase of the Nautilus 800 series tweeter enclosure, creating a lure for these Einsteins.

P.S.
Snofun3, a good one dude!
Although I think in Carlos' house a cleaning lady would probably trip over the Seemless Interface Big Dog, fall and crack her scull on one of the 17 subwoofers before she has an opportunity to move anything.

Only once! After that they don't do much of anything...

Ok seriously, my speakers are too heavy to casually move. I am more worried or them getting damaged by a housekeeper or guests as I don't leave the grills on.
Never had a problem with someone MOVING speakers but putting drinks on them...yes! Now I have Abbys so the drink thing is very difficult. :-)
